Assignment Three -- Phishing Defense Project
In this assignment it is my objective to bring you up to date on the internet threats that could potentially take money away from you or your friends.
  • Locate at least 2 reputable web resources that are discussing current Phishing scams (We discussed in class how to identify a reputable web resource) An example for this topic would be https://www.consumer.ftc.gov
  • Read the description for at least 5 different phishing or social engineering scams. I suggest you read the 5 most current ones. Make a note of what they are -- you will need to provide me with their names for part of this assignment.
  • Select one of the scams and create a word processor document that provides a short summary of how it works (between a quarter and a half of a page). At the bottom, list the 5 scams you reviewed -- just their names. (Note: we will talk about this in class next week so bring a copy to class).
  • Send your assignment to  ncook@ccsf.edu As an attachment (Open Office or Microsoft Office format only)
  • In the Subject line use " CNIT 131 Assignment 3 "
  • In the body of the email enter your full name
